Ingredients Needed
Simple ingredients make this recipe quick to assemble.
Chocolate chips – Use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chips. Mixing two types adds depth of flavor.
Peeps – Any shape or color works. A mix of colors creates a festive Easter presentation.
Dippers – Graham crackers are classic, but vanilla wafers, shortbread, fruit, or pretzels are excellent choices.
How to Make
Below is a concise visual walk-through and step-by-step instructions.
Step One: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a shallow round baking dish or pie plate.
Step Two: Spread chocolate chips in an even layer across the bottom of the dish.
Step Three: Arrange Peeps in a single layer on top of the chocolate, placing them close together so they cover the surface.
Step Four: Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the chocolate is melted and the Peeps are lightly golden. Watch closely since the sugary coating can brown quickly.
Step Five: Remove from the oven and serve warm with graham crackers, cookies, fruit, or other dippers.
Note: The colored sanding sugar on Peeps softens and mellows when baked, contributing a sweet caramelized edge. This dip is best enjoyed warm for gooey texture.
Variations
- Mix different types of chocolate chips: milk, semi-sweet, white, or butterscotch.
- Chop candy bars and stir them into the chips before baking.
- Drizzle caramel or swirl in peanut butter for extra richness.
- Spread a thin layer of Nutella on the chips before topping with Peeps for a hazelnut twist.
Feel free to customize the dip to match your favorite flavors or the crowd you’re serving.
Best Peeps For This Recipe
Any Peeps variety will work—classic chicks or bunnies both bake nicely. Choose colors or shapes that suit your celebration.
What to use for dippers
- Graham crackers
- Vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies
- Apple slices or strawberries
- Pretzels or butter cookies
Experiment with different dippers to find your favorite combination—fruit adds freshness while cookies add crunch.
Best Baking Dish
A shallow baking dish works best. Use a cast-iron skillet for a rustic look or a white round baking dish for an elegant presentation. Just make sure the dish is oven-safe.
Guests will love dipping straight from the warm dish—presentation is part of the fun.
Storing Leftover Dip
Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 3–6 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave or oven before serving to restore the gooey texture.
How To Reheat
If the dip cools, reheat it gently. Microwave for short 20–30 second bursts, watching carefully, or return the dish to a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for a few minutes until warm. For air fryers or multi-cookers, reheat at 325°F for 5–7 minutes until the Peeps are golden and the chocolate is melted.
FAQs
Yes. Peeps can replace marshmallows in s’mores and s’mores-style dips. Keep a close eye while baking because the sugar coating can brown quickly. The result is a tasty, colorful twist on a classic s’more.
The dip can safely sit out for about two hours. After that, food safety risks increase. If you plan to serve it longer, reheat occasionally to keep temperatures up.
